  • Swap Till You Drop: Building Wealth with Tax-Advantaged Real Estate - With Louis Rogers

    I had a great time recording on Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing, on episode MB499 - an insightful episode looking for investors looking for tax advantaged real estate investing. We discussed the use of Section 1031 to defer all taxes on the sale of real estate and investing in an opportunity zone fund to defer and exclude all taxes on the sale of any asset. Listen to this episode to learn strategies used by the most astute real estate managers. Thanks for having me, Michael!
